Why Every One Should Have a 

 Separate Place for Cut Flowers 



"V^OU can't eat your cake and have it too. 



* If you cut flowers all over your 

 grounds, particularly near the house, the 

 place will not look its best. Moreover, we 

 none of us have enough cut flowers for house 

 decoration and to give away. If you plan 

 to raise a great many flowers for cutting in 

 beds and borders you are simply inviting 

 backache and hours of unnecessary work. 

 The cheaper, easy and sensible way is to 

 have a separate place for raising flowers that 

 you want for cutting. Select a place that is 

 out of the way, so that the removal of the 

 flowers will not spoil the garden or landscape 

 effect. The vegetable garden is just the 

 place, because you can have long, straight 

 rows and cultivate them easily by horse or 

 wheel hoe. You can trust an ignorant 

 laborer to hoe anything that is in straight 

 lines, but he is the ruin of an informal border. 



Have the rows far enough apart so that 

 when the plants are full-grown there will be 

 space to move freely without bruising them 

 and also to avoid being drenched with dew 

 while picking them. If our space allowed 

 we should plant the larger plants in rows six 

 feet apart. 



For cutting, the following flowers are par- 

 ticularly good: Asters, calliopsis, Margaret 

 carnation, cornflowers, cosmos, single dahlia, 

 gladiolus, heliotrope, mignonette, nasturtium, 

 scabiosa, sweet peas, sweet sultans, and 

 verbenas. They may all be planted where 

 it is desirable to clear the ground off in the 

 fall for spring plowing or digging. All colors 

 are represented in this collection : 



White. Cosmos, aster, verbena. 



Pink. Aster, carnation, cornflower, cos- 

 mos, dahlia, gladiolus, sweet peas, sweet 

 sultan, verbena. 



Blue and Purple. Aster, cornflower, helio- 

 trope, sweet pea, verbena. 



Red. Calliopsis, carnation, cosmos, dahlia, 

 gladiolus, nasturtium, sweet pea, scabiosa, 

 verbena. 



Yellow. Calliopsis, single dahlia, nas- 

 turtiums. 



Neutral. Mignonette. 



The blooming season of these flowers is a 

 long one, beginning with nasturtiums, sweet 

 peas and cornflowers in June up to cosmos 

 in October and verbenas, cornflowers and 

 mignonette, all of which bloomed in Novem- 

 ber, after heavy frosts had destroyed the 

 vegetables in our garden. There must be 

 no formation of seed pods if you want the 

 "picking garden" to be worthy of its name 

 throughout the summer.
